Types of Team Building
Family Group Diagnostic Meeting
The family group diagnostic meeting involves the individual “family” group where all team members report to the same supervisor, manager, or executive. This process, which has been described by a number of authors, is aimed at getting a general reading on the overall performance of the group, including current problems that should be worked on in the future. This technique allows the work group to get away from the work itself to gather data about its current performance and to formulate plans for future action. Normally, the immediate supervisor of a work group discusses the concept with the process consultant, and if both agree that there is a need for such an approach, the idea is discussed with the group to obtain members reactions.
